Michael Jordan FAMOUS FLU Game, Game 5 Highlights vs Jazz 1997 Finals - 38 Pts, EPIC CLUTCH SHOT
The image of Scottie Pippen holding up a physically drained Michael Jordan is unforgettable, no matter how many times you’ve seen it.
It represents June 11, 1997 - Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Chicago Bulls and Utah Jazz, known as the “Flu Game” - when Jordan summoned something within him that the league had never seen.
“The big story here tonight - the story concerning Michael Jordan’s physical condition,” said play-by-play commentator Marv Albert on the broadcast that night before the game. “This is Jordan arriving two hours ago. He is suffering from flulike symptoms.”

This game by itself proves why Michael Jordan is the GOAT. Stepping up and dropping 38 points in a crucial game while practically passing out every other moment on the sideline is the type of stuff only the greatest can do.
Could you imagine MeBron doing anything like this? If he was sick the NBA would have delayed the Finals until he was better.
@@charlottecorday8494 Lol, true
This is without a doubt the greatest game he ever played. Just the importance of this game, his condition and the level of competition
Exactly bro he was playing with very high fever and in previous night he was throwing up everywhere. It was a food poisoning not an illness but still the goat destroyed them 🐐🐐🐐
His 45 pt performance vs the Jazz in the clincher in 1998 and 55 pt performance vs the Suns in 1993 was better.
@@Theterminato2013his 45 pt was done on horrible efficiency though
@@ToastzEnjoyerremember lil man, Jordan scored 45 of the teams 87 points that's crazy in a finals game, thats like someone dropping 60 in today's game to clinch the finals lil man
And the fact that’s he’s 36 here too!
We really missed out on getting a legendary “Coronavirus Game” man
dropped 1,000 pt performance in a game because everyone stayed as far away as possible.
Christian Wood dropped 32 w the Rona lol
ラモン ・ シルバ lol he wasn’t showing symptoms 😆
TheRealist 811 yup
He played with a ventilator down his throat that day my friends. Pieces of his lung all over the court. It’s funny how legends grow into fables. I watched that game back then, it was unbelievable how he still dominated with influenza.
I’m over here with the flu I couldn’t even image getting up out of bed, what a legend
It was food poisoning.
Dont matter he played sick @@KJClever
@@bigtexas8622 does matter. If he'd had the flu, he wouldn't have played at all, wouldn't have been in the arena. He'd have been at home, in bed, very unwell with flu.
Food poisoning is actually worse
Yea I just had food poisoning yesterday and all I could think about is how tf this man played a whole game in this condition
That last 3 pointer was all from leg strength as if he barely had any consciousness left on upper body, let alone his wrists. What a thing of beauty. 🐐
Sheer will power and dedication, don't see anyone ever besides Jordan could do so.
Kobe has left the chat
Utah Jazz involved in both flu games; MJ curse continues
I'm shook
Not luck, but the will to win -Phil Jackson
Michael Jordan is GOAT scoring 38 points while sick is crazy
Can’t wait for Rudy’s Corona game
he'll get hot and score 8 pts
itll never happen theyll cancel the season until hes good
He scored 0 but he did block all the shots because no one was scoring
Lol
The jazz may be involved in three of the most iconic games ever...
come back to this vid any time i gotta go to work hungover 🐐🐐
MJ was like the only way I'm not playing is if I'm dead. Again, when they had to have it, he came through in a major way.
I was 17 years old during this game/series. Its insane how many tough shots Jordan attempted and sunk! Clones always talk about his career 3pt%, but never mention how good he was from 3, when it actually mattered!! He was probably the first player to nail 6 3s in a Finals series earlier in his daunting Finals run ('92)
That steal and fast break to Pippen was a thing of beauty!
And cleaning up Pippen's missed layup.
🔥🔥🔥
Saddled here with massive food poisioning, all I can think about is this performance. GOAT.
you're not slick with the timing of this upload

Watching this while sick before my game
Bro how do u say Lebron is better than Jordan. Jordan has more accomplishments in 15 years than lebron has done in 15 years and lebron had more help in a worse area than Jordan. Jordan is by far the goat
HE WAS ALWAYS THE BEST AT CLOSING
Wasn’t this the season where Karl Malone won the regular season MVP. Wasn’t this the season Utah almost hit 70 regular season W’s. Wasn’t this the game where a God showed the world he was human, but showed the entire world what WILL and DRIVE pumping in your veins looks like!!! 😮 so glad to be able to watch it live, an absolute honor
Psalms 138:6 Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
Jordan did drop 38 points in Game 5 VS Jazz in the 1997 NBA Finals💪💪💪💪💪🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
Tell me more about how Jordan is not the incredibly obvious GOAT
C'mon bro, it's cause
I hate how the scoreboard would disappear in old games
Whenever I’m not feeling good (Like right now for now) I always comeback and watch this for Inspiration P.S He should’ve drop 40
Yeah I hear you that makes sense. Mike literally could have been on his death bed, and he still would have tried to come out and play this game. His performance while sick was amazing.
@@billj4525 Bron would've cried 😭
@@m42037 Lol, Brons a great players, but he doesn't have that seem drive and determination as Jordan. He likely would have never made it out there in the condition Jordan was in that night. People don't realize how sick Mike was. He was sitting in the dark all night not able to sleep, and whenever the lights went on he would vomit. He had diarhea, cold chills, was sweating all over the place to the point that he had to change his clothes every 20 minutes they said, and pain all over his body, so some thought it was the flu because of some of those symptoms. It was a horrible case of food poisoning, and he likely felt worse than a lot of flu's. Bron wouldn't have made it, but not many players would have, Kobe maybe. MJ could have been on his death bed or close to it, and he still would have tried to make it out there.
@@billj4525 Yep, rumour was it was a poison pizza 🤕
With the flu and still drops 38 points goat 🐐
This jazz team beat a really good lakers team 4-1. A team that had a SHAQ entering or in his prime, a young Kobe, a really good Eddie Jones, a pretty good Nick Van Exel, a good Rick Foxx, a good Derek Fisher, & a good Elden Campbell off the bench.
3-0 actually
@@demetriousstephens1998wcf in 98 then when they swept LA..
Greatest finals performance ive still ever seen! His best game of his career.
This game and game 6 to win his 6th ring were the best games of his career. Jordan will always be that guy…. there’s no one like him! The GOAT!
Much harder than it looks.
Great timing
Legendary.
THE GOAT!!! Also I think we all know why the flu game was posted 🙂
Y
@@Riqdakid covid
Pip the 🐷
WHEN U SAY GREAT THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE GREAT!!!
People are like, “No, he was hungover badly.” Okay, so badly hungover MJ at 34 put on a miraculous performance on a Finals victory. The guy was so good that it wouldn’t surprise me if he stayed up getting plastered the night before knowing that he could still come out and dominate. He was a guy who created challenges for himself to overcome. So yeah, it wouldn’t surprise me. The GOAT 🐐
Meh he was okay
It was food poisoning
@@Justin-hv7eu what Jordan will gain in faking it? It's not like Utah will be pitiful and won't take advantage.
MJ at 35 * 🐐🐐🐐
That makes it even more impressive. Hangovers SUCK.
Sick MJ will drop off your favorite player in a 1v1
I almost fell to my knees last week when I had to work with the flu, 38.8c fever. Didn't even feel safe to drive home so I took a taxi and left my car at work. MJ dropped 38 in the finals with food poisoning. I guess some people are built different.
I have my championship football game and I have a headache so I’m watching this😂
who's here after the NBA suspending the season?
nigga everyones here because of that you’re not special lmao
Attention Currsexuals lmao did I say I was special. I just asked who’s here after the NBA suspended it’s season.
BlackMamba Khan the video was uploaded just earlier today bro
Flu Game vs the Jazz. Kobes last game vs the Jazz. Kobes last game in the playoffs vs Thunder. Lots of foreshawdoing in Space Jam. LMFAO
Heart of a lion.
Flu, food poisoning, or any sort of a virus/condition before the game: "I got you Mike. You're not playing Game 5." MJ in his hotel room: "So this is what made me weak, eh? I've now taken it personally... you just gave me a motivation to win the game." Larry's "kill you" mentality, Kobe's "mamba" mentality, and Jordan's "I've taken it personal" mentality are almost the same, but this one is the most iconic moment in a championship series.
1997 - Jordan plays with the flu 2020 - NBA stopped due to one coughing
Due to a pandemic
Flu has big difference between the coronavirus shut up you don't know. Nothing
@Pilot Watch TV more often, moron
@@anxiety1018 Scamdemic.
Nowadays the media would be crying so much about him getting other players sick 😂
Low key, I think if it was possible, Jordan woulda played through the coronavirus, if possible
Such a huge variation in terms of how sick someone gets from COVID. Sot it really depends on a lot of factors, because it's so different for everyone. Some get so sick they are dying, and some barely know they have anything. I think MJ would be playing as long as he wasn't hospitalized, and he's an athlete so he more than likely wouldn't have been as sick as some other people because of his good health. Playing this game with food poisoning is one of MJ's best performances ever in my opinion. Food poisoning also has a big variation in terms of how bad it is, but it has the potential to be absolutely brutal with major suffering, and in some cases can cause death.
Man, if only I’d been born just 10 years prior, I would’ve been old enough to watch & enjoy MJ in his prime. Fate is a fickle bitch lol
I was like 14 years old and watched this game live. Unforgettable game.
GOAT
I think Michael and Scottie gotta do some interviews lol Together, or like talk lol About their games, like Kobe and Shaq lol You know. You remember that lol They gotta do that, that would be SO cool lol
Lol the timing of this video
The only player who can still play if the Virus is still around ahead of his time 🤣🤣🤣
Ahead of time?yea . but most the ppl he played was average asf compared to tbe 2000s-now,nigga had it easy
Detroit Drama Nigga stop. MJ would average 40 easily today and dominate this soft ass league. Sounding like a straight casual
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@detroitdrama3 Stop it. Your low basketball IQ is showing again kid.
@@cyrusransom5087 Nigga was dead serious. What joke?
Hes legit out of it by the end of the game. You can see it clearly when hes leaning in Scottie and turns around to see wjat Kukic said....
MJ with the Flu and still Hooping in the 1997 NBA Finals VS Jazz💪💪💪💪💪🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
You should upload embiid 30pt “coronavirus game” last night
The Greatest there is, was, and ever will be... Michael Jordan. The ONLY GOAT.
Mike first one to play with coronavirus
Ronnie leonard 🐐
@Anthony 2b channel 15 internet gangsters talking Dumb shit
@Anthony 2b channel 15 LMAO
@Anthony 2b channel 15 ya I'm stupid have a nice day tough guy
Anthony 2b channel 15 u must be high if u think that way... coronavirus is a lot more dangerous than the fuckin flu u dumbass prick
Did the announcer say at the end "I think Chi should foul here and make it a free throw game" when they are up by 2? WTF !?!?!?!
Would make sense if Chicago was up by 3
Still the best finals game to me
Even with the flu
Now known as the corona game
Justin Juniano ...According to you!
@@brucescott4261 ok ur point
This nigga scored 38 while hungover Ngl This man is just different i always said Bron was the goat but after i saw this i was like nahh i gotta give it to mj lol
Bron would never be hungover that’s a female trait
@@jn1346you're right Bron would be hanging out with Wade doing girly things instead lil man
And they say he can't make 3s??🤣 He makes those that matters the most wym?🤦 one man show wym? Dude is making sure almost everyone is touching the ball with that triangle and atacking early while the defense hasn't been set and one of if not the best at working to free himself on ball and off ball. He's just basically unguardable. The goat🐐
*The Food Poisoning Game 😂
Still impressive how he played considering he was sick from it
25 years ago today
The absolute competitive drive of this man, it's MIND BOGGLING. Compare him to a total coward like Joel Embiid, who doesn't have a bone in whatever he uses for a spine.
1:20 pass and shot! Dammmmm
Bron would never do this
there is only a one god on the basketball court, thats Michael Jordan, even im a diehard Kobe's fan
Im sure that game felt like it would never end hes out there wishing it would though
How it feels going to school while you’re sick
Lebron: I can't breathe
Lebron was a kid back then, this is about Jordan.....
Time to drop mad videos after the suspension
Even if it is food poisoning, that shit suuucksss. I would just be in bed all day. Jordan is the 🐐
The coronivirus couldn't stop MJ23
눈 풀린거 보소 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 저 경기때 보여줬던 조던의 무브는 머리보다 몸이 반응하게끔 만든 지독한 연습의 결과다.
Lebron would never...
LH Mike 6 why bring up lebron ? Just enjoy the vid nigga
LH Mike 6 they both great players lol this why I hate y’all old heads
Play pro bball in 97? Yea we know......
5:00-5:05 in all seriousness him and Jimmy Butler resemble so much it’s actually quite scary.
Can you imagine playing 44 min of NBA Finals basketball against a though team with food poising, i mean when i have food poising i cant even get up from the bed
Im dead
MJ is the GOAT....Any Questions???
This style of NBA was so much better, IMO. I like watching sports where scoring is the exception, not the rule. Scoring points in any sport should be difficult to earn and should feel like an accomplishment once they are earned. In today's NBA, scoring is too cheap and easy. There is no physicality. No rim protection. No hand checking. No "bumping" on screens and cuts. It's just boring. I dont understand why any sport would create rules that make scoring easy. It doesn't make sense.
Look out, here comes the coronavirus comments.
Jordan shots better than kyrie shots in 2016
Coach godwin
Was he quarantined?
Supposedly he ate bad pizza and got real sick.
Best ever player mjjjjjj
Jordan wasnt celebrating too much. Nowadays he would have caused the cancellation of an entire basketball season #coronavirus
Y'all witnessed the virus can't even stop the G.O.A.T!
Here after lebrons ridiculous ar comment😂😂😂
They CURSED
The hangover game lol
Food poisoning
Jesus was crucified , bore our sins in his body, he rose from the dead in 3 days, trust in him and gain eternal life. Without him we are lost. BUILD A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND SPREAD THE GOSPEL SO YOU DON'T GO TO HELL.
I’m from Utah, strike one is poisoning Jordan with that pizza the night before this game. Strike two is “the shot” in game 6 in 1998. Strike 3 is Kobe retiring and dropping 60 points for an outright win. I love MJ AND KOBE MORE THAN ILL EVER LOVE UTAH. If I never see the jazz win a championship I won’t be surprised. This place is cursed! FUCK UTAH!
I have the flu so I’m watching this
How do you feel now broski? I’m on Day 3, and still getting my butt whooped by the flu
@@LansingJP good now and I just got the flu shot today. Thanks for asking
Meanwhile when Mahomes gets the flu he loses 🤣🤣
And everyone was fine even thou Jordan had the flu
1:00
Lebum fans always bringin Stockton picture guarding jordan well guess what jordan scored 30+ points with a flu how about lebum healthy at his prime how many points he scored on jj?
This clip has not aged well
U can tell he was weak he was strong I probably couldn't of done that
